Time for a "What are you listening to" 2021

Last night the wife mentioned we should hit the Farmers Market here, since it's been awhile.
The one Downtown is modern and we always enjoy lunch and talking to the vendors.
Woke this morning with this song in my head. A Woody Guthrie song about the Dust Bowl migration.
Not sure why I thought of it in connection with our upcoming visit. The group is Solas.

Pastures of Plenty


It's a mighty hard row that my poor hands have hoed
My poor feet have traveled a hot dusty road
Out of your Dust Bowl and Westward we rolled
And your deserts were hot and your mountains were cold

I worked in your orchards of peaches and prunes
I slept on the ground in the light of the moon
On the edge of the city you'll see us and then
We come with the dust and we go with the wind

California, Arizona, I harvest your crops
Well its North up to Oregon to gather your hops
Dig the beets from your ground, cut the grapes from your vine
To set on your table your light sparkling wine

Green pastures of plenty from dry desert ground
From the Grand Coulee Dam where the waters run down
Every state in the Union us migrants have been
We'll work in this fight and we'll fight till we win

It's always we rambled, that river and I
All along your green valley, I will work till I die
My land I'll defend with my life if it be
Cause my pastures of plenty must always be free.
 
Don't listen to music daily nor much radio outside of during driving. Classic Rock fan. Have paid little attention over last 3 decades to newer music. Have over 200 songs on my phone and mp3 players including playlists. Listen maybe twice a week a few hours while out urban street walking exercising.
